Default Creating styles that have boilerplate text in them.

Thank you Suzanne and you're right. My confusion stemmed from only *seeing*
8 numbering styles in the Bullets and Numbering gallery. How do you know
what Numbered styles you've created already in a template? Do I have to use
VBA to get the full list?

Thanks,
Anthony.

Numbering is the only way, and you can have as many as you want provided
you're not trying to have hierarchical outline "numbering." That is, you can
include text with even a simple (single-level) list, and you can have as
many nine-level outline-numbered list schemes as you want. The only
advantage of having the styles as part of the same list is to be able to
promote/demote levels, and it doesn't sound as if that's something that
would be relevant here.

Hi,

This is using Word 2003.

What I'm trying to do is have styles that all include some boilerplate

text.
e.g. a style called "end points" that looks something like:

End Points:tabThe end points are...

and another called "process definition" that looks something like:

Process Definition:tabThe process definition is...

This worked for me by defining the numbering style for the style to

include
the boiler plate text, but I have more than 8 of these styles I want to
define so don't think using numbering will work for me. I also suspect

this
is not the smartest way of doing it.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to achieve the functionality I'm
looking for?

Regards,
Anthony
